create a file object with your path to raw folder then call 

file.listFiles();

this will return list of all files then filter these files with .pdf extension

// edited

AssetManager assetManager = mContext.getAssets();
String[] arrData = assetManager.list("pdfFolder");//name of your directory as assets/pdfFolder/abc.pdf
List<String> pdfList = new ArrayList<String>();
int size =  arrData.length();
for(int i = 0;i<size;i++)
{
   if(arrData[i].contains(".pdf"))

   {
     pdfList.add(arrData[i]); 
    }
}
